Doji Candlestick Pattern

A doji represents an equilibrium between supply and demand, a tug of war that neither the bulls nor bears are winning. All dojis are marked by the fact that opening and closing prices are almost same . There are 4 types of doji.
  • Common Doji:
    • is sign of indecision or reversal in the market.
    • is more significant in up-trending market than in downward moving market.
      • Long Legged Doji:
        •  has long upper and lower shadow.
        • When close below the midpoint of the candle indicates weakness. 
        •  Dragonfly Doji:
          • occurs when price open at high and closes at high.
          • looks like "T" with long lower shadow and no upper shadow.
          • indicates that the sellers drove the prices lower, however at the end of session buyers pushed the prices back to the opening level and formed the shape of "T".
          •  Gravestone Doji:
            • is bearish reversal pattern that mainly occurs in the top of uptrend.
            • occurs when open and close near to the bottom of the trading session ( day's low price).
          Above patterns are useful in technical analysis, however other indicators such as RSI, Stochastics should be consider while trading.
